Recent advances in the understanding of male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)

Arman A Kahokehr et al. F1000Res. .

Abstract

In this review, we have looked at three important areas in understanding male lower urinary tract symptoms. These are improvement in terminology, detrusor underactivity, and nocturia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia leading to bladder outlet obstruction has been covered in a previous review.

Keywords: LUTS; detrusor underactivity; male lower urinary tract symptoms; nocturia.
